Indicative chemistry content
Stage 1: consider effect of higher temperature on yield
(Or vice versa for lower temperature)
• Le Chatelier’s principle predicts that equilibrium shifts to oppose any increase in temperature
• Exothermic reaction, so equilibrium shifts in endothermic direction / to the left
• So a Higher T will reduce yield
Page 60 of 92
Stage 2: consider effect of higher temperature on rate
(Or vice versa for lower temperature)
• At higher temperature, more high energy molecules
• more collisions have E>Ea
• So rate of reaction increases / time to reach equilibrium decreases
Stage 3: conclusion
Industrial conditions chosen to achieve (cost-effective) balance ofsuitable yield at reasonable rate

M4 is for the structure of the tertiary carbocation
Penalise M4 if there is a bond drawn to the positive charge.
Penalise once only in any part of the mechanism for a line and twodots to show a bond.
M5 must show an arrow from the lone pair of electrons on the negativelycharged bromide ion towards the positively charged carbon atom of either asecondary or a tertiary carbocation
For M5, credit attack on a partially positively charged carbocationstructure but penalise M4.
Max 3 of any 4 marks in the mechanism for wrong organicreactant or wrong organic product (if shown) or secondarycarbocation.
Max 2 of any 4 marks in the mechanism for use of bromine.
Do not penalise the correct use of 'sticks”.
NB The arrows here are double-headed5

(ii) M1 Reaction goes via intermediate carbocations / carbonium ions
M1 is a lower demand mark for knowledge that carbocations areinvolved.
M2 (scores both marks and depends on M1)
Tertiary carbocation / carbonium ion is more stable (than the secondarycarbocation / carbonium ion)
OR
Secondary carbocation / carbonium ion is less stable (than the tertiarycarbocation / carbonium ion)
M2 is of higher demand and requires the idea that the secondarycarbocation is less stable or the tertiary carbocation is more stable.Reference to incorrect chemistry is penalised.
A carbocation may be defined in terms of alkyl groups / number ofcarbon atoms, rather than formally stated.

(f) M1 Elimination
M1 credit ‘base elimination’ but no other qualifying prefix.
Penalise one mark from their total if half-headed arrows are used.
M2 must show an arrow from the lone pair on oxygen of a negatively chargedhydroxide ion to a correct H atom
Penalise M2 if covalent KOH
M3 must show an arrow from a correct C–H bond adjacent to the C–Br bond to acorrect C–C bond. Only award if an arrow is shown attacking the H atom of a correctadjacent C–H bond (in M2)
M4 is independent provided it is from their original molecule BUT penalise M2, M3and M4 if nucleophilic substitution shown
Award full marks for an E1 mechanism in which M2 is on the correct carbocation
NB The arrows here are double-headed
Penalise M4 for formal charge on C or Br of the C–Br bond orincorrect partial charges on C–Br.
Penalise M4 if an additional arrow is drawn from the Br of the C–Brbond to, for example, K+.
Ignore other partial charges.
Penalise once only in any part of the mechanism for a line and twodots to show a bond.
Max 2 of any 3 marks in the mechanism for wrong reactant orwrong organic product (if shown) or a correct mechanism that leadsto the alkene 2-methylbut-2-ene.
Credit the correct use of “sticks” for the molecule except for theC–H being attacked.
M5 hydroxide ion behaves as a base / proton acceptor / electron pair donor / lonepair donor
Penalise M5 if ‘nucleophile’.5

M3 for structure
• If wrong nucleophile used or O–H broken in first step, can only score M2.
• M2 not allowed independent of M1, but allow M1 for correct attack on C+
• + rather than δ+ on C=O loses M2.• If Cl lost with C=O breaking lose M2.
• M3 for correct structure with charges but lone pair on O is part of M4.
• Only allow M4 after correct / very close M3.
• Ignore HCl shown as a product.4

(e) (i) Spectrum is for Isomer 1

The explanation marks in (e)(ii) depend on correctly identifyingIsomer 1.
The identification should be unambiguous but candidates shouldnot be penalised for an imperfect or incomplete name. They maysay “the alcohol” or the “alkene” or the “E isomer”
